Ways in which the Cincinnati Reds ranked last in 2026

The Cincinnati Reds finished the 2026 MLB season as the league’s worst team across nearly every statistical category, leaving them on the outside looking in as playoff-bound clubs dominated headlines. Offensively, the Reds ranked last in strikeout rate (25.5%), batting average (.229), on-base percentage (.305), and hits (1,231), including a league-low 783 singles.

Their wRC+ of 91 and offensive efficiency (OFF) of -66.3 underscored a season where even basic contact was elusive, with a .278 BABIP and just 277 doubles—fewer than any other team. On the mound, their xERA (4.92), FIP (4.82), and ERA (4.84) were all among the worst, compounded by a 4.19 BB/9 rate and 668 walks, while their defense ranked dead last in range-shifting zones (-12).

Even exit velocity (89.5 mph) and barrel percentage (8.7%) were league-worst marks, with only the Colorado Rockies trailing in some pitching metrics—a distinction offering little solace to Reds fans.
